Durgan covers the campfire with dirt to prevent an inferno, then searches around for what else could cause that nagging feeling at the back of his mind.
Durgan opens the chest, oblivious to the possible dangers of his actions. If it's locked, he aims his hammer at it to crack it. Durgan however has no interest in lugging tents into the wilderness.
Durgan closes the chest and attempts to pack the whole thing into his backpack. Failing that, he tries strapping it to the bottom or top or emptying the contents and leaving the box behind, taking care to record how many necklaces, gems and rings there are.
Then he finally heads east to continue his journey, with Shivas in tow.
The chest is too big for you to strap to your back but you can carry it between the two of you. Or you can continue as you said and pass everything to your back pack and head on out.
Your list: 3 necklaces: 1 with clear gems and two with red gems, five rings: two with golden bands and a blue gem, two with a golden band and a clear gem and one that is silver with no stone, twelve gems of small size: three are blue, four are red, two are green, and three that are clear.
Say what you are doing now.
Durgan decides that filling even one hand of his with idle carrying is not worth the risk on the open road and packs it away instead. Then (Finally) continues on his journey along with Sessativa.
You both head east along the road. The day is bright and a few clouds are in the sky. It looks to be a nice day for a walk. As the sun begins to set you can see off in the distance a hut alongside the road. It looks like you will not be able to arrive there until after dark. Do you continue or make camp?
